Paint it... paint it right now...

So I saw this earlier in the week but didn't have this idea till recently. I remember you asking what should be done with the tail and the left arm of the DK. You may already have the arms set in place. Heres my idea, put a shield on the left arm that the tail spike is partially pierced through. So it looks like he blocked a tail attack and counter with his sword.

Just my $.02

Damn man that is one crazy knight you got there, but as others have said the guns seem to be cluttering it up, other then that damn fine job you've done here!

Thats going to be a bitch to paint but its bloody awesome though.
Agree with the gun removal/relocation idea. I think on his sholder would be a good place to have it or have it destroyed and on the ground or something.

This thing is awesome, can't wait to see it painted up!

This is one of the best models Ive seen in ages. I really disliked the Dreadknight model when I first saw it, but all this awesomeness is winning me over.

Thanks guys !!! I left off the baby carrier part as I really think it looks strange ... I figured that being attached at the waist with heavy restraining bolts attached to your power armor would be enough to keep you in place. I really like these 2 for scale against the rest of the army .... have a few more surprises in the werks for this army as well ...


Stay tuned ... same bat-time ....same bat-channel .....lol

I would sugest green stuff a thousand sons head piece either on the skull or the armoured carapace of the deamon prince as it just looks like a modified necro sphynx and not a deamon prince at the moment.

Seriously cool!

I would suggest one or both of two things, both to make the whole scene more battle-esque

1) have the dreadknights left arm holding the right arm of the necrosphinx, as if he blocked an attack, right now it looks as if the necrosphinx could spear the dreadknight.

2) reposition the tail so that it is embedded in part of the dreadknight armor. If this is going to be purely a diorama, you could have the tail spike embedded into the Grey knight, in a mutual destruction type of combat.

Looks cool, those are just my ideas, hope to see it painted.

Thanks guys !!! sorry its taken a bit to get back .. we moved the studio . Wow what an adventure that was ... anyway ... got some painting done in the meantime.... let me know what you guys think !!!!

still need to rebase and put the wash on it ... but here is how it stands with the blocking.

i love the model and idea, but i think the paint scheme is too much like the TK's, i think an alternative paint scheme would have set it apart from WHFB

I like it, very cool.

That is a really clean paint job. Very nice lines. The model looks absolutely awesome...

Nice!

Very nice, clean and fresh.

Thanks guys !! .... the wash should brings things together . The army as a whole is getting there .... will try to get some picts of it so far today. after the move things are in a bit of dishevel around here ....

Ok bit of an update ..... wash ink ... detail done .... now just needs one of our bases and its ready. ...
Let me know what you guys think.

The inks are looking great. Very clean with good contrast. What's going to fill up the rest of the base?

That's beast.

I was going to say I hated the paintjob: it wasn't finished. Then I scrolled down to be impressed.

True story brah.

owh my gowd thats awsome!

You should spend more time highlighting instead of washing. Washing is okay, but it will never make you any better and everything looks as though it has been washed.

Thanks guys !!! .... all the encouragement is so awesome !! Ill be working on a bit more highlighting as well !
